Why Effective Mosquito Control Matters

Anyone who has spent time outdoors during spring or summer knows how frustrating mosquitoes can be. Beyond ruining backyard barbecues and family gatherings, these persistent pests pose serious health risks that require professional mosquito control. Oklahoma mosquitoes can transmit dangerous diseases including:

  • West Nile Virus

  • Infectious Encephalitis

  • Dengue Fever

  • Zika Virus

These resilient pests adapt quickly to different environments, develop resistance to many over-the-counter mosquito control products, and can breed both indoors and outdoors. Worldwide, mosquitoes cause millions of deaths annually—more people in one day than sharks kill in 100 years.

Understanding Local Mosquito Season

Oklahoma is home to approximately 60 different mosquito species. While the official mosquito control season begins in May, many species become active as early as March and continue thriving until November when the first freezes arrive.

Spring and summer are the most dangerous periods for mosquito-borne illnesses when populations peak. By October, their numbers naturally decrease—but professional mosquito control remains essential for complete protection.
